  • About

A popular Swedish semihard cheese, factory-made all over the country from pasteurized cows’ milk — either full-fat or semi-skimmed, it has a firm texture, and is pale straw-colored with a scattering of small holes, yellow-waxed rind and delicate flavor. It is similar to Swiss Gruyère, although not so fine. (247)
